Shiny

A fresh coat of groom paint was applied this evening. I drilled again at the beginning middle and end of the long straightaway on the lake and got conistent 8″, in all three holes.

Sunday Campground business

Peter Ord picked up the reigns and cleaned up the campground this morning. I spoke to him as he was hitching the roller for an expedition onto the lake. While the ice is never entirely safe we are confident it will support the grooming equipment.

Grooming Stopped

We have stopped grooming Camp Ground until we get snow. We want to save what we have, Yellow speed bumps starting to show through the ice.

Ice, ice baby.

Not many customers at the Campground, but the skating is fair. Classic is marginal. Ginzu’d the main drags and let classic stew in it’s own juices.
